November 24, 200619 yr Yeah, I was wrong on that front. I'll admit it. Their quarterback still sucks.
November 24, 200619 yr Yeah, I was wrong on that front. I'll admit it. Their quarterback still sucks. Can't argue with that, especially after that fantastic 3/17, 29-yard performance. But McFadden is unreal. It was hard to imagine a RB better than Reggie Bush, but Adrian Peterson arguably is. Bush is an unreal overall talent, but as a pure runner many thought Peterson was a once in a generation type....then came McFadden, who might be the best overall of the three. Heard the announcers today talking about him as the closest thing they have seen to Eric Dickerson. Chris Mortensen, whose son plays for Arkansas, said he has been to a lot of practices and McFadden is the best talent at RB he has seen in a long, long time and is the closest thing to a young OJ Simpson clone he has ever seen. BTW, IMO, the Buckeyes are most likely the best team in colege this year, but the way you talk about them is like they are an all-time heavyweight. This years squad has the benefit of a lot of parity in college this year and a strong underclassman draft last year. This team probably wouldnt defeat any champion from this century, including either team from last years championship game as well. That's not to discredit the work they have done this year, but just putting their 'greatness' in perspective.

That's not to discredit the work they have done this year, but just putting their 'greatness' in perspective. That's your opinion. I don't buy it. This is one of the best Buckeye teams ever. Troy Smith is certainly one of the best Buckeye QBs, if not THE, ever. Period. I would stack this team up against anybody. I'd put them up against last year's Texas squad, USC before that, LSU/USC before that and the 2002 squad. This Buckeye team has sick balance, especially considering how many doods we lost on defense last year. And we've got so many weapons on offense it's ridiculous. This team isn't just good, they're GREAT. When you have four strong wide recievers, two good tight ends, two strong runningbacks, Troy Smith, BOTH lines, James Laurinaitis (who could still potentially get better), and the defensive backs we have... This team is sick. I think they're on the level with the last three or four years worth of USC teams.
November 25, 200619 yr The big rivalry heats up tomorrow at noon!!! LOOK FOR THE CRAZY FSU FAN IN ROW 1 IN THE STUDENT SECTION. Oh yes, there will be a pregame, game game, post game and post after game. drinks!
November 25, 200619 yr I'd easily take '06 Buckeyes over the '02 Buckeyes even without the title yet.
November 25, 200619 yr It's true. Arkansas is one dimensional as hell and LSU didn't prove to me they could stop anyone. Boi they're so good! Wait, you guys are right. These guys are the best teams in college football. PLEASE. I'd rather see Florida or USC, personally. you might see florida, but your for suuuure....not going to see usc. YAWN. Notre Dame fans are funny. Yeah, they really are.
November 25, 200619 yr I actually have a weird feeling Notre Dame is going to win. Me too. They have improved immensly since the Michigan game and USC always seems to flirt with disaster.
November 25, 200619 yr Just saw a graphic on Gameday saying Michigan's schedule rank was #2 in the country and USC's was #3 How? That had to be a mistake. USC has played Nebraska, Arkansas and will play ND as OOC Opponents! Michigan played Vandy, Ball State and Central Michigan and ND.

November 25, 200619 yr My goodness...there is NO defense in this UNC-Duke game, so far. 285 yards of combined offense less than 10 mins in. 14-10 UNC BTW, anyone who can access ESPN360 and figure out a link for this game would be my hero.
November 25, 200619 yr I can't believe this crap is only a 14 point lead. Typical Gators game this year. Methinks Harvin is done for the day. Meyer's offense always leaves receivers out to dry. It pisses me off so much.
November 25, 200619 yr Because everyone cares... 24-23 UNC over Duke at the half. Duke went ahead with about a half a minute left in the half, but missed the XP, and then UNC returned the kickoff for a TD. Pretty typical stuff for Duke.
November 25, 200619 yr Hope Harvin's Ok...he had full motion, but you never mess around with neck injuries.
November 25, 200619 yr I'm ready for the weekly 2nd half meltdown! Announcer just said Harvin was OK, so that's good. Obviously won't be playing today. And now Wynn is down. Great. Jesus, now Nelson is down! WTF, nice int though.
November 25, 200619 yr Carolina 31-23, 4:00 in the 3rd Joe Dailey 17-26, 237, 2 TD. Great to see him finally start playing well, even though its too late
November 25, 200619 yr Duke with a TD and a deuce to tie it at 31. Another Victory Bell Classic! (I wish I could watch)
November 25, 200619 yr Author man, FSU's D looks awesome Drew Weatherford is absolutely terrible and West Virginia is down 24-12 to South Florida with 5:31 to go
November 25, 200619 yr Duke has fallen apart yet again. A punt return for a TD and another huge run for Carolina. 45-31 UNC, 9 mins to go.
